AuthorTopic: Wireless with Netgear WG511v2 (Read 2467 times)

Hi everybody........I require some help please. I have been playing with wireless and am getting a bit frustrated. I am using mentioned card and can install it using ndiswrapper and all looks fine. I have no errors come up and the lights are on, but unfortunately it seems that no-one is home. I have been trying to connect to my home network with no security in place, I figure I will start at the bottom and then try to work my way up to WPA2, which is the security I normally use. The only problem is that my card does not pick up my network, using the command: iwlist wlan0 scan - gives the result of no networks. Using the wifiradar tool gives the same, even if I precofigure it with the ssid and channel that is used. Would someone be able to please help with this, I have been using the wireless guide that is provided in the forums, which I must say is great, but am having no luck Thanking you in advance.

Heya Bigpaws, thanks for the reply. I went to the link and I was very helpful, thanks. I think I am going to have to leave it here for now and get myself educated. I'm not a fan of not understanding because I do not know how it works, hence leading to frustration. So I am off to get some Linux training under my belt. I am determined to understand how everything works and with more experience I intend to contribute what I can where i can. So once again thanks for your answer, I am off to enroll in some courses.
